Gordon & Marx
12 min. Street in One. German Comedians. I would consider this only a fair act and I would not care to play it very late on our bill.
Hastings & Wilson
9 min. Special Drop. Garden. Comedy acrobats and eccentric dancers. I consider this an exceptionally good act. It has been going very good for us.
ALVIA
8 Mins.; One (Special Drop).
Alvia is a young Miss wearing a blue soubret costume, with straight playing on a xylophone. Her numbers range from band to rags with the latter used at the finish for satisfying results. The turn runs through rapidly, the girl using the orchestra with each number. For an opening turn in the three-a-day Alvia has the goods.
W.C.Fields
a great many times and he has never failed to make good. He is undoubtedly the best comedy juggler in the business.
Harry Atkinson
Olio. 13 minutes. Monologue of Nursery Rhymes, introducing his imitations of Musical Instruments. Mr. Atkinson is undoubtedly the best in his line. He is going very well in this place on the bill.
Henry Woodruff & Co.
Interior, full stage. 24 minutes. In “A Regular Business Man.” A very good sketch. Mr. Woodruff is a very good actor. The Company is fair. The salary entirely too high. I am sure that Mr. Woodruff is not strong enough named to headline a Pittsburgh bill.
Cecelia Loftus
Open full stage. Interior, closing full stage. Special. 25 minutes. During our time in vaudeville we have many acts that have been overpaid and which did not make good, but without any doubt Miss Cecelia Loftus has been the biggest failure we have every played. Her imitations were very unlike the originals. If she had been anyone else but Cecelia Loftus I am sure we would have closed her. I really cannot account for her bad performances with us. She seemed to be trying and apparently in the best of health.
Bradshaw Bros.
Full stage. Garden. 8 minutes. Comic flexible athletes. A very good comedy contortion act. Owing to the arrangement of our bills we were forced to put them on to open the show. I think they are good enough for any place on the bill.
In the Barracks
Special. 37 minutes. A Military Operetta – another of Lasky’s acts. With some of the dialect omitted from this act, I would consider it among Lasky’s best. Miles McCarthy, in my opinion, is a very bad actor. The production, costumes and company generally are very good.
Conlin, Steel and Carr
Olio in one. 17 minutes. “The Follies of Vaudeville.” Singing, chattering and comedy piano playing. A very good act of its kind, particularly the pranks of Mr. Conlin at the piano. He is a good comedian and the act gets by with a merry breeze.
